00:00Albion did climb to the top of the table with that run and now you have to go down to Oxford
00:09in 11th as the other highest team who haven't won a game in the last five. So the stats
00:14don't look fantastic in recent games. But Albion are fourth and I remember going into
00:22that first game of the season against QPR and I spoke to loads of people prior to that
00:25and they were like, I'll take a draw, I'll take a draw, I'll take a draw on the first
00:29day. Obviously we didn't know how well Madge was going to start the season, how Albion
00:33collectively were going to start the season and there was a little bit of worry because
00:36there was still a bit of transfer business to be done. You win those five out of six,
00:41should have won six out of six in my opinion, with a side that is predominantly the players
00:46that were here last season or have come back from being on loan. So I think at that point
00:51everyone's thinking, oh we've got these players in now, Mikey Johnston, we've got all these
00:54options in, this is just going to keep going and get better and better and it hasn't been
00:58the case. I think I'm probably guilty of it a little bit as well, maybe getting a little
01:03bit too carried away in not remembering where we kind of were back in the summer. The sort
01:11of atmosphere and the place and what we're all thinking is play-offs are going to be
01:15great. We're 11 games in, Albion are fourth. Don't get me wrong, in those last five games
01:20Sheffield Wednesday, I don't think they deserved to win. Middlesbrough, I don't think that...
01:26Just edged out.
01:27Just edged out, arguably could have got a point. Millwall, probably didn't do enough
01:33to win either. But the last two games they did enough to win, I think. Oxford they did
01:38enough to win, just lapses in concentration and that little bit of lack of sharpness in
01:42the final third and then last night they still had chances.
